WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE!?
Where is Congress? Where are they?
I want to film this for my kids & my grandkids. I want them to see the day democracy died in Washington, D.C.
Even George is upset 🦮
& we should all be shocked!
No one is here to say this is wrong!
I was born here.
I'm Andrew Howard.

I went out to shoot the moonrise tonight and unfortunately it was obscured by clouds. But as I walked back over the bridge the color went crazy in the sky and the reflection over our town for about 90 incredible seconds. Tap for full size. I hope you have had a great day!

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.

“The eyes of America are watching” Thank you Mr Jeffries.
Every single House Democrat will stand up for the American people.
We just need four Republicans to join us.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.
This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
